A woman was conned out of nearly £15,000 after falling victim to a romance scam which started on a Faceboom group.
Mary gave £14,500 to her 'partner' to help them out during a time of need, little she did know it was a con and he took the cash and disappeared without a trace.
Mary, whose name has been changed, joined a Facebook group for fans of a popular film and not long after she’d joined, Mary received a private message from another member of the group, called Bill.
